———————————————————————————————

Roma was formed in 1927 by four teams - Roma Professional Team, Arda, Romans and Fortido. In southern Italy, the team is the most stable team, only relegated to Class B in 1951, and has won three league titles in its 70-year history. At the same time, the 7 FA Cup championships of the Italian Association made him second only to Juventus in this competition; the team participated in the three major European Cups in total, the most participated among the Italian teams, and even higher than the traditional three. However, they won the championship of the Expo Cup (the predecessor of the League Cup) in 1961.

Rome is not short of ambitions and support from fans. The conditions of the "Eternal City" Rome City are enough to support a super rich family in the world. However, because it is located in southern Italy and the tradition of Italian football is indeed in the north, Rome, the leader of the south, has been suppressed by northern powers everywhere in its 70-year history. This kind of suppression is often invisible and intangible, but it does exist. Perhaps this is also a tradition that exists all over the world, and people from different regions always exclude each other.

After the game with Liverpool, the entire Inter Milan team flew directly to Rome from the UK. After three days of preparation, the 17th round of the league with Rome.

As soon as he arrived in Rome, Xiao Hua was invited by Senxi to visit his home. "Chairman Senxi, I always feel happy to see you." As soon as he met, Xiao Hua enthusiastically went up to hug the old man with a hot temper.

"Masco, haha, I like you young man more and more, come and sit down." After the two sat down, Sensi said with a smile: "Masco, your Inter Milan is in good condition this year, and the second-ranked European competition in the league also performed very well, especially the newly emerging strikers in the team are slandering."

Several Inter Milan strikers did make Xiao Hua feel proud and laughed: "You have been too awarded. How can they be with Fonseca and Balbobi in your team? They are both fierce players who have been through the battlefield."

"Oh!" Senxi sighed helplessly. It seemed that something difficult had happened to him, the old man who was not afraid of heaven and earth, to sigh like this.

Xiao Hua asked with concern: "Chairman Senxi!" He was very interested in this old man Xiao Hua, and he really liked to be close to him.

"Musco, I came to you today to actually want to talk to you about the transaction. Can Delvicio in your team be transferred to us?" Sensi asked at Xiao Hua.

"You Rome want Delvicio?"

"What do you think about USD 9 million? You have so many good forwards in the team now, and Delvicio doesn't seem to be able to play as the main player, can you consider it?"

"Why did you think of introducing Delvicio? Fonseca and Balbo have worked together for many years, and the goal rate has always been very impressive! In addition, Toti has gradually matured, and you seem to be not short of strikers, right?" Xiao Hua asked in confusion.

"It's all that damn old women! They have been secretly poaching Fonseca. Now Fonseca is determined to go to Juventus. This year, he is facing the TMD Boseman bill. Once the season ends, he will definitely transfer freely. At the same time, Balbo is already 30 years old, so I have to make plans early." Sensi's hand was tightly clenched, and he really hated Juventus!

"Oh! No wonder!" Xiao Hua said so, thinking that it was not impossible to sell Delvicio, but I don't plan to sell it this year. He is quite experienced among several forwards, and his team still uses it. After pondering for a while, Xiao Hua made a decision and looked up and said, "Chairman Sensi, I have always regarded you as my elder. I know you are very dissatisfied with the so-called sacred league between AC Milan and Juventus."

"TMD shit Holy Alliance!" Sensi snatched.

"It's really bullshit, but this bullshit is sometimes useful. If you want to deal with them, I think we teams can't fight alone. We must unite so that we can fight against them in this league! What do you think we Inter Milan want to form an alliance with you Rome?" Xiao Hua has been thinking about the alliance with Rome for a long time, and today he took this opportunity to finally speak out.

“We unite?”

"Yes, at present, the only two left teams in Italian football can compete with their two right teams, but if we keep fighting alone and not uniting, it will be difficult for them to be their opponent!"

Senxi lowered his head and recalled Xiao Hua's proposal in his heart. He looked up and asked for a while: "Masco, how can we cooperate?"

"Like the Holy Alliance, our cooperation is in all aspects, but it is indeed invisible. Do you understand?" Xiao Hua said with a smile.

Sensi nodded suddenly and said, "It's true. I'm very willing to cooperate with you, Rome and Inter Milan! In the future, let Italy see if it's the Holy Alliance or ours."

"No!" Xiao Hua shook his hand and said, "It's not Rome and Inter Milan. Our two families are not strong enough. I am also planning to invite a club to join us. I am planning to call our league a Triangle. In the future, Italy will be a competition between the Triangle and the Holy League."

Although Sensi was a little unconvinced that his club was not as good as AC and Juventus, he had to admit this fact and asked: "Who are you going to invite?"

"I think Fiorentina is a good choice, what do you think?" Xiao Hua smiled. In fact, Xiao Hua likes Lacio in his heart. Unfortunately, he is the most right-leaning team in Italy and has already won over Rome and is probably unrealistic to win over him. The only good choice is Florence, a left-wing quasi-wealth club.

"Okay, I agree! Triangle Alliance" Senxi stretched out his hand and said with Xiao Hua.

"That's the Delvicio thing?" After the alliance was negotiated, Sensi remembered his original intention today and asked with a smile.

Xiao Hua laughed and said, "Chairman Sensi, we have all been in the league to take care of each other. That's for sure. Delvicio can be sold to you, but I have a better young player who wants to recommend it to you. I think he has the strength that is more than Fonseca. I wonder if you are interested?"

"I'm of course interested in having such a player, but why don't you need it?"

"Everyone likes good players. Our scouts have been observing him for more than a year. His strength can definitely be the second Barty, but our team's forwards are already overcrowded. He probably won't be able to play as the main player when he comes. This will ruin his future. Since we have formed an alliance, we must share player information with each other. Since we can't use it, I will definitely take care of you as an ally! Otherwise, why are you still forming an alliance!" Xiao Hua explained. He then said, "He is the young forward of the Argentine Riverbed Team Crespo. I think you'd better hurry up. There are already several teams in Europe talking about his problems with Riverbed. If it's too late, the baby will slip away from you."

"Okay, I believe you, Musco, I will send someone to Argentina to discuss immediately." Sensi immediately made a decision.

"As for Delvicio, I think you can send someone to see Crespo first. If you are not satisfied, I agree to sell Delvicio to you. If I plan to sell Delvicio in the next few years, I will ask for your opinion first. What do you think?"

"Masco, it's really nothing to say after making a friend of you, haha!" Sensi stepped forward with satisfaction and hugged Xiao Hua.

On the second day of the Olympic Stadium in Rome, Inter Milan and Roma will win and lose on the court. Although the two teams formed an alliance outside the court, it is impossible to show mercy when both teams have hope of winning the championship. Currently, Inter Milan is ranked 2nd and Roma ranks 4th. Both teams have set their goals for the championship. This game is destined to be a battle of dragons and tigers.

"Musco, although you are good friends, we, Roma, are determined to win this game!" Sensi and Musco sat together in the stands and talked to each other.

"The game is the game. We must not defiled the purity of football like a certain team. Let's enjoy the game together!"

Wenger made a very big adjustment to the midfield in this game. Cocu replaced Berti as the left forward, Di Biagio partnered with Vieira, who had the first chance to start, and Lombardo continued to serve as the right forward. Zanetti's position on the back line was replaced by Cannavaro, and Baggio partnered with Delvicio on the forward line. Several main players in this lineup did not play. I wonder if it was a helpless move to prepare for the home game against Liverpool three days later.

At the beginning of the game, people found that Inter Milan's style of playing today also changed greatly. The formerly used style of playing the attack was gone today, and no front midfielders were sent to the court today. Midfielders Koku, Biagio, and Vieira are all balanced players who can attack and defend. They are all organizers and interceptors of the midfield. With the coordinated battle of the three of them, Inter Milan soon gained the advantage of the midfield.

In the 20th minute of the first half, midfielder Di Biagio intercepted the ball near the center circle, and then quickly passed the ball to Baggio in front.

Baggio, in front of the penalty area, leaned against the opponent's defender, and did not stop the ball, and directly pushed the ball gently to the left with the inside of his foot. At this time, Koku was plugging in from the back at high speed. Both the defender between him and the goal were attracted by Baggio, and he had a very good long-range shot opportunity.

Facing the ball, Cocu pulled up and kicked the ball directly. The ball penetrated into the goal against the turf and flew towards Rome. Roma's goalkeeper Celvoni tried hard to change the direction of the ball, but the ball was too powerful, so he finally bounced on the left post and rolled into the goal.

1:0 Inter Milan took the lead. Inter Milan relied on a strange formation to gain an advantage after the opening game and scored a very beautiful goal.

Roma, who played at home, certainly refused to give up and immediately roared and launched a crazy counterattack. However, the interception ability of Inter Milan midfielder today is too strong, especially the 20-year-old Vieira's first starter today, which made everyone feel bright. His figure advantage, excellent physical fitness and flexibility make the players of Roma always feel helpless when facing his defense. Judging from the data, he completed the steals in the first half ranked first among the two teams.

Roma made a substitution in the second half, and Totti got a chance to play. His performance after playing was also eye-catching. His outstanding skills and tenacious fighting spirit immediately changed the dull situation of Rome.

Halfway through the second half, Roma created an opportunity on the left. "The Old Prince of Roma" Giannini kicked back with his left foot on the edge of the penalty area and shook a gap, then knocked the ball directly across the ball with his right foot, and passed the ball to the middle of the penalty area.

Fonseca at the front point of the penalty area was not greedy for me. He wisely missed the ball. He had just discovered that Totti was waiting at the back point, and his shooting position should be better.

Of course, Toti would not miss such an opportunity to hit the ball on the left side of the penalty area directly!

The ball shot to the left of the goal like a lightning bolt. Such a beautiful shot made Paliuka unable to make any saves, watching the ball fly into the net!

1:1 The two generations of Roman princes had a good understanding and completed a wonderful cooperation. The Rome team tied the score! Totti and Gianini hugged each other! The fans of Rome saw the hope of Rome's future, and the Rome flag had a successor.

"Musco, Froncisco is like my child, and our future flag bearer of Rome will undoubtedly be him!" Looking at Tothysensi's outstanding performance, his face was filled with unconcealed excitement.

"I am indeed a very outstanding player!" Xiao Hua exclaimed sincerely, and at the same time he was a little envious. Rome already had the banner of the future, and Inter Milan has not found this person yet.

In the next game, both sides attacked and defended each other, but no one was able to create any good opportunities. The score of 1:1 was maintained until the end of the game. It would be considered a happy event for each score of 1 point!

After this round of matches, the schedule of this season is over half. Currently, AC Milan tops the list with 11 wins, 4 draws, 2 losses, 38 points, Inter Milan ranked second with 10 wins, 5 draws, 2 losses, 35 points, Juventus ranked third with 10 wins, 4 draws, 3 losses, 3 losses, 34 points, Lacio, Roma, Parma, and Fiorentina ranked 4-7. The highest 33 points and the lowest 31 points are not yet far from the top three. It should be said that they still have hope of competing for the championship.

Signori and Bati tied for first place in the scorer list with 13 goals. The Inter Milan team scored the most goals was Baggio, who scored 10 goals in 17 games.

Three days later, at the Meazza Stadium in Milan, the second leg of Inter Milan vs. Liverpool was kicked off in the last 16 in the League Cup. Since the two sides played 1:1 in the first leg in the UK, both sides won the goal in this game. Relatively speaking, Inter Milan was exempted from flying at home, and scored a away goal in the last round, which should have a certain advantage.

In this round, Wenger continued to send 11 common main players, and did not continue to use any new weapons and tactics. What he needed was stability. He still trusted this set of tactics and players who had been using for almost two years in a game of winning or losing.

Inter Milan immediately gained an advantage after the game started, and from technology to tactics to physical fitness was significantly higher than Liverpool. In the 26th minute, Liverpool made a mistake in the counterattack. Carlos intercepted the ball from the left and dribbled the ball and made a long shot from the left side of the penalty area. Although James tried his best to save the shot, Baggio's alert shot still knocked on his door.

1:0 Inter Milan took the lead.

Inter Milan did not stop offense after scoring the goal. Their performance today made people feel that they were not like Italian teams that traditionally valued defense. In the 40th minute, Costa, the core of the middle, dribbled the ball over a defensive player and passed a ball behind him. Baggio, who was holding the ball on his back, removed the ball with his outside instep, and at the same time, quickly turned around, stopped the ball, and passed in one go! He passed Liverpool's last line of defense very beautifully!

Single shot! A good opportunity, now is the duel between Baggio and James. His door has been knocked twice in two games. As the goalkeeper of the England national team, James was very angry and depressed. He felt that he could not accept the reality that the goal was pierced by him again. He stared at Baggio wide with his eyes wide open, and at the same time, he kept roaring loudly in an attempt to overwhelm the opponent in momentum.

Baggio looked at James and found that his opponent was very angry on the surface, but he was probably very calm inside because he did not attack. Then it depends on whether you can continue to calm down. He raised his foot and made a shot. James' body began to move. Unfortunately, Baggio did not shoot. He made a fake move! Baggio led a little forward and shot! The series of wits and courage between the two sides took only 1 or 2 seconds. At this time, it was too late for James to change his move immediately. The ball flew to another corner and entered. Inter Milan took the lead 2:0!

With three goals in two games, Baggio became Inter Milan's hero and Liverpool's nightmare! Inter Milan also taught the English a lesson in this game, letting them know that they are still far behind if they want to be the world's No. 1 league at least on the court.

In the second half, the victory was decided, Wenger replaced Baggio with satisfaction. He was so tired that he participated in almost all the games in Inter Milan this year. Baggio was treated with standing ovation from all the fans at the end of the game, and even Liverpool players and fans applauded him.
